Lahey Tissue Forceps are specialized grasping instruments designed for securely holding fibrous and slippery tissue during surgical procedures. The 3 × 3 sharp-tooth configuration provides a firm, non-slip grip and is particularly associated with thyroid and goiter surgery.

The standard Lahey model is approximately 6 inches (150–152 mm) long. STERIS lists a 150 mm Lahey Tissue Forceps with 3 × 3 teeth, while other manufacturers list the 6-inch version for ENT/throat procedures.
